No reason we should lose this game

[Flipdaddy]

I will say this. If we lose this game, just play Nico the rest of the way. Assuming he is healthy. Because if we lose this one, we ain't beating Bama or UGA.

I agree, get the new kid in town some quality reps for next season, hell, he may even beat somebody he’s not supposed to.

Perfect example of what is wrong with our fan base, we are worried about being jinxed!

Our fan base will have zero to do with tomorrows outcome

I agree, I want Milton to succeed as much as anyone. But let’s face it, he is a 6th year senior if he can’t get it done tomorrow I don’t see any upside to continuing with him.

Please make it stop

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

So based off everything you have said you don’t plan on watching the game tomorrow? Bc it’s obvious that you know Florida is going to win, you haven’t said one thing positive in this thread. Might be better off to just quit cheering for the Vols altogether.

Nope, I’ll be watching and cheering for the Vols win or lose. It’s gonna be a slugfest.

I think people aren't realizing to that Florida has 3 dline that weight over 360. One of em weighs 410. If we go fast and keep Florida from subbing we're gna gash the **** out of them. I honestly think if Joe plays well it's a blow out. If he doesn't play well we win by 3-10. Go vols

The offense needs to sustain drives early and it will wear the defense down. They don’t have the depth or talent to keep up. 3 and outs are going to keep the gators hanging around and that usually leads to the Vols finding a new way to lose to Florida

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Time to show folks what the Vols are about!!!!! GBO

Those guys were there last year if I am not mistaken.

Also, South Carolina 2022 says hi.

Irrelevant

You boys keep the positive mojo running. I’ve seen the Vols fumble, bumble and stumble their way to defeat in this series long enough that I never feel like it’s a win.

You keep that negative little Nancy attitude going to ok?

Worrying about a jinx of a jinx is the only thing worse. Now if course a jinx of a jinx of a jinx is fine.

First, they can and will fake injuries to get the time needed for subs. Second, we've seen our RBs tapping out after 3 straight running plays. Third, we need some first downs to keep the pace/pressure going. That's not been so easy for Milton and Co. What you describe sounds easy on the surface, but it's not always so simple.

Just like coach always told us: Visualize failure.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Lol. Way to jinx it.

Go play with your ouija board.

 

[LWSVOL]

This is one of the worst Florida teams we have played in a long time, swamp or not we should win.

Tennessee has lost a lot of games in their history that there was no reason to lose, but it happens.

one was to the worst Florida team I have ever seen 10-9 in 2014. Will never forget it. It was in Neyland.

sometimes losing happens without reason...

 

[Other_Guy]

Lol. Way to jinx it.

Watching them against Utah they are easily the worst gator team I've personally watched. There is zero excuse to lose to them. I gave Heup a pass for losing to SC. I won't if they lose this one. Would be an epic meltdown. Not only would it mean trash offensive play but the defense has to play pretty poorly because Florida just isn't built to score points.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

I'll give you one... VOLS don't show up to play like they didn't last week.

I'll give you a bonus: Milton doesn't hit his receivers in stride.

I hope this team is ready to win big games.

The difference here being Heupel has not shown to be the meltdown that was Butch and this Tenn team is supposed to be MUCH better than 2014.
Also I'll be shocked if this team is better than that team.

another example then.

Memphis lost 21-17 in 1996.... I really could give you a long list of games with really good coaches on the losing end.. That Tennessee team in 96 was far greater than this one and that Memphis team was far worse than this Florida team... not reasonable Tennessee should have lost, but they did....

 

[VolPack22]

We played a 4-win Florida team a few years back and we were one of their 4 wins. That being said, we should beat this team by multiple scores.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Just score more points than the other team.

Do you think this is a revelation to me?

That freaking game. UF’s offense was garbage and our O-line was playing horribly too. So what does Butch do? Calls for a long developing pass play while we’re already up 9-0. That leads to a sack & fumble then UF’s trash offense only needs 30 yards for a TD. At that point in the game the only way UF was going to win was by forcing a turnover deep in our territory, and Butch called a play that would give them that opportunity.

That is what the 2015 Tennessee squad said.

 

[Eddie Vol Halen]

I suspect we will score on the first drive - it's what we do. It will be the second drive that sets the tempo for the team. If we keep clicking, it will be a long evening for the Gators. If not, well, find a way to win by 1 and you will hear no complaints from me. What's great is I don't think we have to win a boatrace anymore. That DLine is as good across the front as I've seen in a long time at Tennessee. If the secondary makes a few plays, it will be hard for the Gators no matter what.
